Change Order Questions

How do I write out a change order?

A change order should include the project name, change description, cost adjustment, revised contract total, and client signature. This template generates a professional change order document with all of those fields automatically from the data you enter.

How do I handle change orders in construction?

Log every change as it happens, get client approval before starting the work, and track the effect on your margin. This template gives you color-coded alerts when a change erodes your margin below a threshold you set.

What is an example of a change order in construction?

A homeowner asks to add crown molding to a room that wasn't in the original scope. You log the change, the template calculates the cost and margin impact, generates a change order document for the client to sign, and updates the project's profitability dashboard.
